To prepare a Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet based on following information:
An online electronics shop has 26 items on their store. 1. On A special sell they are giving i. 10% discount for any product with a price over 50000 TK. ii. 5% discount for any product with a minimum price of 10000 50000 TK. iii. No discounts for products bellow 10000 TK. 2. A customer has to pay 15% VAT over discounted price. 3. The ship their products inside Dhaka only. Shipping charge is 200 TK. 4. If the total amount paid by the customer i. Exceeds TK 50000, they give a pen drive as gift. ii. Is between TK 30000-50000, they give a pen drive as gift. iii. Is between TK 10000-29999, they give a pen drive as gift. iv. Bellow 1000, they doesnt provide any gift items.
Procedure: 1. 1 st Ive opened a new MS Office Excel Worksheet.
2. Then Ive put alphabetic strings in respective cells of raw 3 Product Model, Price (TK), Discount (%), Discount (TK)..
Figure: Setting put alphabetic strings/ Labels. 3. Ive put the names of models (A-Z) respectively Under Product Model label in column 1 and their price under Price (TK) label of column 2. Example: Value of cell A4 is A, B4 is 100000,
Figure: Putting the values 4. To calculate discount Ive put the following logic C4=IF(B4>50000,"10",IF(B4>=10000,"5","0")). After selecting C4 cell Ive put the formula in the formula bar.
Figure: Setting Discount(%) logic. Ive put the curser at the lower right corner of cell C4 and holding the left mouse button, Ive dragged the cursor all the way down to the C29 (not showing in the picture) cell. By doing this Ive assigned this formula to all cells of the entire C column (up to C29) according to their respective column B cells.
Figure: Generalizing formula to whole column.
5. Similarly, Ive calculated discount (TK) using the formula D4 =PRODUCT(B4,C4/100).
Figure: Setting Discount(TK).
6. Similarly, Ive calculated Discounted price, VAT (%), Total price, Shipping cost, Total amount to be paid & Gift. On doing so, Ive used following formulas/logics
Labels First Cell Formula/logic/Numerical Discounted price E4 =(B4-D4) VAT (%), F4 15 Total price, Shipping G4 =(E4+E4*(15/100)) Shipping cost H4 200 Total amount to be paid I4 =(G4+H4) Gift J4 =IF(I4>50000,"Pen Drive",IF(I4>30000, "T-Shirt",IF(I4>10000,"Cap","No Gift")))
Figure: Setting Discounted Price.
Figure: Setting Total Price.
Figure: Total amount to be paid.
Zoom View:
Figure: Setting Gift logic. 7. For better view color is added in row 3.
Figure: Complete Worksheet. Advantage: 1. All information can easily be accessed. 2. Lowest chance of data loss. 3. Highly customizable. 4. Upon entering new data or entering new value of current data (editing), all other related fields are automatically calculated. 5. Easy data mining and data processing. 6. Neat representation of business data. 7. Capable of password protection. 8. Readable to large number of electronic devices.
Conclusion: MS Excel makes our work easy and saves a lot of time. We can save data in a well organized way and access data very easily. Ive done the whole project very carefully and tried my best to avoid unwanted errors. A soft copy (.xls file) was e-mailed to Class Representative.
